β-actin is a ubiquitously expressed and highly conserved 42 kD cytoplasmic protein involved in cell motility. This critical cytoskeletal component can be disrupted by drugs such as cytochalasin. Because β-actin is ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells, it is frequently used as a loading control for assays involving protein detection (such as Western blotting). The Poly6221 antibody has been shown to be useful for Western blotting of mouse, rat, and human β-actin.

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. Western blotting, suggested working dilution(s): Use 10 µL per 5 mL antibody dilution buffer for each mini-gel. For immunocytochemistry: Use a dilution range of 1:100~1:400. For immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, use a 1:100 dilution of antibody for staining. Antigen retrieval for IHC using 0.01 M sodium citrate buffer is recommended. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Antigen Details
- Structure
- Member of the actin family; 42 KD
- Distribution
-
Ubiquitously expressed in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells
- Function
- Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility
- Interaction
- Polymerization of globular actin (G-actin) leads to a structural filament (F-actin) that forms a two-stranded helix. Each actin can bind to four others.

- Three actin isoforms exist in vertebrates; alpha, found in muscle tissues; beta and gamma, found as cytoskeletal components and mediators of internal cell motility. Drugs such as cytochalasin disrupt the actin network.
